I agree...caveat: with far less push from Big Pharma and doctors to go the drug route. Borderline high blood pressure, late onset diabetes, smoking related lung diseases, GERD, depression, PCOS, cancer prevention, heart disease can all be improved and even eliminated with lifestyle changes alone.
A case in point: I cured a serious case of AFib. Yes, I took beta blockers, the highest dose possible which was necessary but I was able to get off them with daily exercise.

Interesting story about blood pressure. I've always had normal/low b.p. (i'm 64). For a time about 18 months ago, my pressure was spiking. (I am on metoprolol for my vtach). My cardiologist said normal for my age, this is how it starts, I should monitor at home. Anyway to make a long story less long, around the same time found out at the osteoporosis clinic that my Vit d levels were low. Two to three months of vitd supplementation, and all bp readings
are consistently normal/low. (Except when my white coat syndrome is in play).
